Too Hot Chilli

Volupturaptor

More tomatoes, peppers, beans. Serve with soured cream, cucumber slices, and give the kids milk to drink with it.

Hi katie,

I find a good dollop of natural yoghurt added seems to help. As mentioned earlier milk and dairy products help to take the heat out of it so the glass of milk tip is a good one. This thread has lots more ideas:

Too Hot Chilli

I'll add your thread to it later to keep the suggestions together.

put some chocolate in it (a few cubes of dark cooking choc will do) - it will defo take the burn away - and gives a lovely thick / creamyness to the sauce

Hmm, boiling a potato in over-salted stew then disgarding it takes some of the saltiness out, wonder if it would work with chilli?

Does adding bread or 1/2 a potato help or does that remove salt

Otherwise, I'd say the same as Elona, serve ratia or sour cream and make out you meant it to be that hot, are they men or mice?

This may help (...anyone who maybe still suffering):

SUGAR!

Got given the tip in my Student Days - living with a motley crew of final year students from around the globe. One of us was from Malaysia, where dishes can be... :mad: then... :eek: and back to... :mad: HOT!

We often ate together and found some tastebuds could not withstand the fiery heat of really hot Malay cuisine (birdeye chillies the lot). I was middle of the ground on fiery hotness, so I'd be test case. And when I'd shook my head, a desertspoon (or three) of normal sugar would be sprinkled in the pot to calm the chilli heat.

It worked.

I remember a couple of nights we even experiemented and tried out different ways to cool the pot (or your mouth):
Milk
Yoghut
Raw spud chunks
Sugar
Drinking cups of tea
glasses of chilled fizzy drinks
Fruit juice
Sipping a chilled glass of water.

It was quite fun even with the guys trying it out, who'd previously never dare venture passed putting white ground pepper on the plate.

But the one thing that has stayed we me since, is sugar. HTH

Question: Has anyone done anything whacky to stop the burning?
